pbjclimber (150), Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 29, 2006 Growler: Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Flavor is of roasted malts and a little hops. Overall the beer is a little watery with medium to light carbonation and even the 7.5% alcohol is not well hidden. A drinkable baltic porter, but nothing special.
hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 26, 2008 On tap at the Selins Grove Brew Pub. Poured a deep brown with a small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, toasted nuts, grains, and some dark fruits. Tastes of toffee, toasted nuts, some dark fruitiness, and chocolate. stangger (145), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 15, 2008 On tap at Selin’s Grove brewpub. Dark, with an odd off-smell. Kind of sweet tasting, but not much flavor at all, except a hint of bourbon/alcohol. Strange; my least favorite of their brews. notalush (2129), Rawn-kawn-kohma, New York, USA Jul 30, 2008 Growler shared by beerbill - hazy amber pour, with a thin ring of fizzy lace - nutty aroma, with light fruity components and doughy character which caries over into the flavor - hazelnut and a little acidic fruity tang (raisins, berries) which seems odd - doesn’t appear to be a lager, as is appropriate for the style - a bit of roast and chocolate in the finish - okay. fredandboboflo (722), East Setauket, New York, USA Jul 27, 2008 Updated: Oct 31, 2008From growler. Aroma of coffee cracker. Flavor is super sweet coffee with dark fruits upon warming. Too sweet without enough there to back it up. 6-4-6-3-11/3<br /><br />Rerate from tap late 10/26/08. Aroma of earthy malt and coffee. Flavor of ripe/overripe dark fruits, sweet chocolate. Mildly syrupy. 7-4-7-3-13/3.4 LilBeerDoctor (733), East Setauket, New York, USA Jul 26, 2008 Updated: Oct 27, 2008Growler shared by beerbill. Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of raisin, sweetness, liquor. Flavor of roasted/smoked malts combined with sweet fruits. This combination did NOT work. Also seems as though this beer is best fresh fresh fresh and even a few days in a growler affects it. Not good! 5/4/4/3/10

Update 10/27/08: Had this again on tap at the brewpub. Pours a dark brown with a small white head. Aroma of light roasted malt and alcohol. Flavor of raisin, sweet malt, and alcohol. Slightly better than the growler version I had earlier, but I’m still not a fan. Definitely not one of Selin’s Grove’s better efforts.
